Pope Blesses Youth, But Not the Ones Dodging Bombs
In a moment that was part spiritual, part subtle world news roast, Pope Leo closed the Jubilee of Youth by remembering the young people 'bloodied by war' in Gaza, Ukraine, and other conflict zones. Oh, I'm sorry, did I miss the part where they handed out party hats and confetti for a war-torn youth shindig? So let me get this straightâthereâs a global youth celebration, but if you're dodging bullets, you're RSVP'd to the 'no-fun' list. Itâs the exact kind of blessed irony that makes you question whoâs actually on the guest list of peace.

Pope Leo throws a youth party, but oopsâno invites for Gaza & Ukraine kids. Are they saving the DJ for the ceasefire, or is this just some divine VIP list? #BlessedButBlocked
Here's a Jubilee party tip: when inviting youth worldwide, maybe donât forget the ones stuck in war zones. Unless the peace negotiations are BYOB (Bring Your Own Bomb).
Pope blessing youth while the 'bloodied by war' can't celebrate feels like hosting a barbecue and leaving the grill unattendedâin a hurricane.
